I was shocked this guy didn't get more heisman attention. How big is he? Wonder if he'd like to play TE, I'd love to see him line up there for us

Due to Ronnie's inability to stay healthy and having two major injuries in 3 years, I can see us thinking about running back high in the draft ... but that would be next year. We have Ricky for another year and Patrick Cobbs should be back.

I see ILB, OLB, DT, S, and WR to be more pressing needs (not in that order). With that said, you still have to go with the best player available in this draft and RB is a need. We need to continue to build the foundation of this team through the draft. I view Ronnie (injury) and Ricky (age) as part time backs.

Gerhart has 39 catches in 3 seasons, while Brown had 35 catches his senior season.

I'm beginning to think you're just a troll around these parts.

your just being ridiculous

I did just see those pass catching stats myself, I was kind of surprised because Gerhart catches the ball fairly well. He only runs a 4.48, oh my goodness. And Brown ran a 4.32? I wonder why I agreed with PR about not having the burst Brown has. Could it be due to the fact that Brown is faster. No way, that couldn't be it.

Comparing Fiedler to Marino? wow..........just wow

You do realise Gerhart is not some DIII RB don't you. As it has been posted earlier in this thread he was 2nd on the heisman list. This kid can play.

Lastly, I am a huge fan of Brown and I would not be happy to see him go.

Plus, iowa....Ronnie's time might have been a 4.3, but he is not a 4.3 guy.

Through the whole I think he is, but not in the open field. But that qualifies as burst, which is me and MT's point.

Big, physical, shifty RB's.

Re: MdDolfan... I guess someone heard you (RB CJ Spiller)

Loved the footage of Spiller and I must say the kid is a multi-faceted home-run hitter. What I noticed missing from his repertoire is the between-the-tackles running that a Parcell's runningback needs. He reminds me more of a Westbrook type back than a Barber or Brown/Williams type back. Gerhardt in a later round makes more sense to me, but I doubt we draft a back at all because we have Brown for one more year, plus Williams, Cobbs and Hilliard.

Dude is a bowling bowl. I would love to pick him up in the third, but like I previously stated, I don't think a runningback is exactly a need for us right now. We would have to cut or trade another one of our backs if we drafted him.

Gerhart is not shifty. Regardless, I'm not sure you have a point. You can't continually compare players just based on size and the position they play.
